1966, USA, 16mm, colour, sound, 14 min.

Although affirming projector, projection beam, screen, emulsion, film frame structure, etc., this is not an “abstract film” / projector as pistol / time-colored pills / yes = no / mental suicide and, then, rebirth as self-protection / dedicated to Regina Cornwell.
A film made entirely of colour fields that flicker at different rates and rhythms. The effect is hallucinogenic to say the least. The frame appears to be the unifying force that keeps the light of the projector from spilling out all over the room, and each 24th of a second comes thrashing into the viewer’s consciousness.
